On Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk urged a judge to reject a request for a gag order that would prevent him from continuing to publicly claim that his infamous "Funding secured" tweet was accurate.

The motion for a temporary restraining order "asks this Court to trample on Elon Musk's First Amendment rights by barring him from publicly discussing this case or its underlying facts. Plaintiff's motion cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's guarantee of free speech and should be denied," Musk's lawyer wrote in a court filing Wednesday.
